Caye 200mm f/3.5 Version 1.5

The Caye 200mm f/3.5 was announced only a few months ago, but it wasn’t marketed in the West beyond our coverage. Since then, there has been an announcement of a generation 1.5 lens that seems like it will be a little more expensive and resolve some of the inexpensive lenses shortcomings.

Only 175! Cangye Optics’ new 200mm F3.5 full-frame telephoto prime lens has been upgraded to the 1.5 generation.

The main updates are as follows:
-Solved some known issues and those who raised the issues,
-Improved lens parameters, significantly improved MTF,
-The actual focal length has been increased from 196mm to 216mm,
-Removable lens group for easy dust cleaning,
-Reverse the lens to achieve a soft focus effect.

It still uses a classic set of two optical structures, a fixed F3.5 large aperture, a minimum focusing distance of 3 meters, covering the full frame, a metal nameplate, weighing about 550 grams, optional lens hood and tripod ring, two colors of white and black are available, with Sony E, Canon EF, Canon EF-M, Canon RF, Nikon F, Nikon Z, Fuji X, Leica L and M43 mounts.

If we see this lens in the West, it will likely be sold on Amazon.

A limited edition set of a Cheki and original design accessories

FUJIFILM Imaging Systems Co., Ltd.

The product being released this time is an original model that combines the popular instant camera “instax mini 12  ” with a silicone case, shoulder strap, and stickers featuring Kumamoto Prefecture’s PR character “Kumamon.” The silicone case and product packaging feature colors inspired by Dekopon, a specialty of Kumamoto Prefecture.

CinD: Fujifilm GFX ETERNA Interview – Some Unique Incite and Fujifilm GFX ETERNA Has A Lot Of Potential

CineD recently interviewed Fujifilm Managers about the Fujifilm GFX ETERNA at CP+ 2025. You can watch the full interview above or check out our summary, and don’t forget my follow-up below:

  • This Fujifilm GFX ETERNA is Fujifilm’s first digital filmmaking camera
  • The X and GFX series are mainly for stills, but Fujifilm does have hybrid cameras
  • The name ETERNA signifies that it is a cinema camera
  • Fujifilm has made cinema cameras for years
  • Fujifilm has a working sample at the show
  • Fujifilm has been following what the fans are saying about the GFX ETERNA and what they are willing to pay
  • Fujifilm GFX ETERNA will be in 2025, and they do not have an exact price yet, but they hope people can own and rent the camera
  • GFX100II is capible for cinimatography
  • The Fujifilm GFX ETERNA has an open gate 4:3 and is designed for 16:9
  • Fujifilm will have modes to use the full sensor
  • Rolling shutter speed depends on the mode you are in, like the GFX100II
  • Fujifilm is making sure there will be no issue with the shutter
  • The minimum rolling shutter will be 15ms in the 16:9 4k mode
  • F-Log 2C was developed for the GFX100II, but it was developed for the Fujifilm GFX ETERNA
  • What enhances the GFX100II will enhance the Fujifilm GFX ETERNA
  • The Fujifilm GFX ETERNA will come with a newly developed monitor by Fujifilm that is a 5-inch touch monitor
  • Fujifilm has had requests for a viewfinder, and they are considering how to address concerns
  • Fujifilm will be ready to tell us more about the Fujifilm GFX ETERNA around NAB
  • The Fujifilm GFX ETERNA is the first in a family of cameras, but they will not be talking about those cameras unless the Fujifilm GFX ETERNA does well
  • The GFX sensor in the camera will have a dual base ISO of ISO800 and ISO3200
  • Fujifilm managers are very busy developing cameras for us, even though they are a small team
  • Fujifilm keeps its platforms similar to make it efficient to develop products since they are dealing with a small team
  • They have a 5th-generation processor and image sensor platform they are comfortable dealing with, and the teams are well aware of what others are working on
  • It takes Fujifilm a few years to develop a camera
  • Fujifilm adjusts to market needs as much as possible, and they will stop development and change to something else if necessary, but this rarely happens
  • Most of Fujifilm’s digital cameras have been well accepted, and they try not to “fix” anything too early
  • The Fujifilm GFX ETERNA has been challenging to develop, but it should be safely done this year

Johnny certainly pulled some interesting details out of the Fujifilm managers, giving us a peek behind the curtain of Fujifilm’s development. I do think it is interesting that Fujifilm could release ETERNA vlogging cameras soon like Sony has if the Fujifilm GFX ETERNA does well. It seems most camera manufacturers start with high-end cameras like the Sony FX line and then work their way down into vlogging cameras. Fujifilm ETERNA cameras certainly have a lot of potential in my eyes.
